comprising eight first voins, twelve violas and
four 'cellos. In the tuneful effects of this COM
position was found the satisfying element lack
ing III the piano. The warmth of coIoring and
delicate shading elected in the melodious meas
ures stood forth in strong contrast with Wag-
ners explosive thunder bursts of almost inn
possible harmones. My first experience in
listening to the tickle music of the modern
disciple was the rendition of the second section
Of Der Ring DIES Nibelungen" by the New
York Symphony Orchestra. Three mortal
hours and fifty minutes did / listen to the
rivalry of various instruments yieing with each
other i'll hopeless attempt to make the most
violent sounds. Wagner's orchestral writings
always strike me as mistaken endcavor to
make the trombone and trumpet kings of the
orchestra rather than leave the crown with
that long established and rightful monarch, the
violin. If the coming music is to be construct
ell on what | choose to term the ''sam-bang'
principle of wonderful combinations of chords
without the slightest trace of melody, then l
predict that while future audiences may listen
to music that is great they will suffer from
a horrible sensation of tediousness and be
martyrs only because it is the fashion to hear
It. 1t will not be from inherent desire that
they worship ut the shrine recently erected.
There will even be some that prefer the melo-
dious music of Italy and the Fatherland. and
of this number while life lasts may be reckoned.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Thc sale of the art

Beecher is set down to begin Tuesday, and
tho American Museum Of Art where the col
lection now is. has been visited by great
numbers of people since it was first exposed
for sale. The bidding will no doubt be brisk,
especially for some of the books, but there
will be few things purchased because of great
artistic merit, for Mr.. Beecher was not a con-

Bat cen he'd Mr.. Beccher been possessed

recipient of IN enormous number and Va

a Chinese Law for Debtors.

In the last batch of Chinese medical re-
ports which have been published by order of
tho inspector general of customs at Shanghai,
Dr.: w. Morrison, of Nowchang, mentions
q revolving fact which must be now to many
of our readers. 1t is that in some places in
China debtors who arc unable to meet tho
claims of their creditors arc punished with
the loss of sight. In the case which came
under DR.. MorrisoEi; observation it was tho
debtors son who was the victim of this Cia-
bolical custom. He was tied hands and feet
and deprived wholly of the sight of one eye,
while that II the other would have been lost
but for timely surgical aid. The olfensc was
that tho poor fellows father owed tho re-
morseless Slylocks forty taels, or about 9lO
in English money. DR.. Morrison was in
formed that the practice was by no means
uncommon, and that about the time he was at
